*Graa…*
The beast roared in pain as the lava protection disappeared and its skin started to melt, the moment it was touched by the black rain.
It no longer concentrated on merging and controlled all the lava around it to rise and attack towards the cloud.
The cloud was hit by large volumes of lava. Clearly, continuous small drops of rain weren't able to stop and got overpowered.
However, the moment they touched the cloud, all of them were just absorbed into the cloud and the rain started to thicker.
Still, the rain wasn't able to hit the beast as it continues to gather the lava and directed them to above its head.
The lava started to disappear and the rain continued to thicken but the beast didn't stop its attempt.
As for why didn't it flee yet, is because of the large area that the cloud covered. With the rain thickened, if it would step out, all of its skin would melt away and will leave with a skeleton in the end.
